Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

Information scientists have long recognized that ";one picture is worth a thousand words,"; and over the last decade, extensive research and development has been devoted to pattern analysis and image understanding by computers. Practical applications of such computers include the processing of biomedical images for diagnosis; the recognition of characters, figureprints, and moving objects; remote sensing; industrial inspection; robotic vision; military intelligence; and communications data compression. ~
This special issue attempts to bring together a body of work by leading researchers in computer architecture, image processing, pattern recognition, and pictorial database management. The increasing importance of this work lies in both active research results and in the promise of newer, broader applications. I hope that these articles will stimulate further investigations towards the cost-effective development of intelligent image analysis computers, which in turn will bring us closer to our ultimate goal: promoting better man-machine interactions in the era of real-time knowledge information processing.

Intelligent image analysis functions.

The deficiency of today's computers stems mainly from the 1/0 mechanisms: computers still
cannot communicate with human beings in natural forms, such as spoken or written languages,
pictures or images, documents, and illustrations. Existing computers are far from satisfactory in
their 1/0 speed and speech, vision, translation, and realtime responses. To develop "human-
oriented" interactive computers we must first upgrade their capability to understand "natural"
information representations and then respond to them intelligently and perhaps more reliably
than human beings can. Computers with intelligent 1/0 will benefit both professional and
nonprofessional computer users.

Three research areas have been identified in the development of intelligent man-machine
interfaces: natural language processing, such as designing computers that understand English,
Chinese, and other natural languages; speech understanding, which demands both speech
analysis and synthesis; and the focus of this issue, image processing and recognition, in which
pictorial and imagery data are processed on-line and interactively with high accuracy.

To implement image processing and recognition, we need to develop subsystems for input,
output, and analysis of imagery data retrieved from a large image database syst...
